Best man on the internet handling the 550.

[@Lifeinthe906]

Love the 550. Gonna go 24" 3/8 chain on mine pretty soon. Thanks for sharing

[@vikingnorm6935]

550 xl mark ii is my favorite saw, I have other saws, bigger saws also, so I wouldn’t change my bar past 20” personally, but it’s cool to see!!

[@Alexhulk]

You convinced me! Ill put a long bar on my 550

[@smokinbutts2]

Wondering how it would handle Red Oak or Hickory?

[@vzmax6230]

I can see below I saw this video almost a year ago and I didn't remember how impressive it was ! Actually I don't understand why Husqvarna want the 550 to run a 20'' bar max while the 550 has almost the same power as the 562 which is supposed to run much longer bars.

[@Motoko1134]

because it doesnt have the same power and torque

[@vzmax]

@@Motoko1134 The 562 is just 17% more powerful than the 550 but it is supposed to handle a 40% longer bar ? It is not rational.

[@Motoko1134]

@@vzmax how are you calculating the power? just taking the ratios of the power supplied on the website? thats not the entire story its just a specification. Its like CCs on the saw are a poor indicator of how powerful the saw really is, it doesnt really mean much.

[@vzmax]

@@Motoko1134 So the power values (which can be mesured by anybody with the proper tool) indicated on a website of a very serious brand like Husqvarna "doesn't really mean much"... Well...

[@midnightsnakeboa]

Now is your 550 stock

[@gmanbeavis]

550XP MKII is such a wicked 50cc saw. I can't talk highly enough of mine.

[@sirvozelo1]

I am just a homeowner and in fact I have went from gas power to battery power. I still keep my old husky 162 witch is in a very good shape, it has a 20" bar. Do you think it with handles a 24" bar? If so, and for the 24" bar what other parts I need to change? It still all original as when my father buy it + - 43 years ago.

[@TJussilainen]

should handle 24" just fine. just bar with Large Bar Mount (D009) and 3/8" chain + new drive sprocket

[@Dolmar-Rick]

So what's been done to that saw. Because its obviously not stock😂

[@TJussilainen]

base cut.. mild port work and muffler opened

[@michaluher103]

Man i hate you. Just last month I upgraded 550XP mark1 with felling dogs from 562XP on both sides and swear a god to my girlfriend that it is only one on earth, because nobody else would do such an upgrade on 50cc saw. You did! Another idea I had was to put on same bar as you did just for fun. Unfortunately didn't do it because I don't know how to on small mount-Great Job!

[@JakePlisskin12]

Oregon 28" small mount 280RNDD025(only one I have found). Make sure to get a 93 drive link 3/8 chain(91 wont fit). Then you'll need a small spline 7 tooth 3/8 rim sproket. It's husqvarna oem 503 52 30-02 or oregon 18720. Should be it.

[@user-uj2wz7rl7n]

Greetings from Ukraine!) Tell me please, but on 550 XP 2 with a tire of 20\50 in\cm, isn't the 325 step too frequent? Will it stick when felling trees 20\50 inc\cm. Wouldn't it be better to put a 3/8 pitch tire, crown chain? I own a 550 XP 2 15/38 and a 325 chain. I want to bet myself 20/50. I don't know what chain to use. I occasionally cut trees with a diameter of 50 - 100 cm. And saw firewood in a pack of 50 cm + -. I don’t want a chain pitch under 404, because I think that the saw will be heavily overloaded

[@TJussilainen]

narrow kerf sthil rs pro 325 chain is very good or sp33g husqvarna/ oregon speed cut. 7 pin rim for stock saw with 20" bar.

[@arunassvet]

I would say 20" bar for 550Xp mark 2 would be on the limit, and 24" bar is way too much. 😉

[@clintbliss2046]

In normal use where your chain isn't perfect, the woods dirty, got hardwood etc you're not going to be real happy with that long bar and 50cc.

[@vzmax]

Interesting video, thanks ! The 550 is the most versatile chainsaw out there. Just wondering why you modified a Husky bar instead of taking a small mount Oregon 28'' bar.

[@TJussilainen]

bar is for my big mount saw, just for fun made it fit to 550

[@vzmax]

@@TJussilainen OK ! 😉 Nice demonstration, the "small" 550 can easily drive a long bar !

[@loggerjake8506]

What bar mount would work on the 550xp with 3/8 pitch in a 24" without having to modify it? D176 mount?

Or just use a sugihara light bar small mount ... as it's the same as the husky bar ..... 🤔 as huskqvana used the same design for their light bars ....

I don't think anyone makes a light weight small mount 28 inch bar. If they do let us know where I can buy one.
